Face to face
Milk and peaches complexion is what remains popular - if Kareena Kapoor Khan flaunted it on the screen, lately it's Alia Bhatt who fuels the desire for gossamer skin amongst the women. Whatever the age or whichever part of the globe a woman lives in, a healthy, glowing skin remains most sought after.
The advancement in medicine and technology has stepped in to help willing women (and increasingly men) to maintain a healthy skin. Right from injecting your own blood (called Vampire facials) to completely removing the upper skin through diamond needles leaving it paper white (diamond facial), skin treatments are increasingly using advanced equipment and medical procedures.
A heart’s calling
Born and brought up in Moga, Arfi Lamba was pretty much like every other small town lad enamoured by
Bollywood; he confesses that he would often trade his studies for a Madhuri Dixit movie! But he didn't quite start his Bollywood career with commercial cinema.

Notes to remember
She sent the entire nation on a Karaoke exercise with the hit single Chahun Main Ya Na — the song that was on repeat mode all through last year, as much for its music as for its croon-worthy element. After the hit musical Aashiqui 2, singer Palak Muchhal put her career graph on an upward spiral and couldn't have asked for more. Nor did she have to!

At your service
Delhi might be the fashion capital of the country but it's quite a task to travel 240 km every time you want something special, something customised and designer. So you turn to local designers, sift through their designs, check out their work, fabric, cut and fit.

A happy tune
He is destiny's child. While doing his MBA, Anmol Preet wouldn't have ever thought that he would be sitting in a music studio and recording his tracks. And well it didn't happen, while Anmol flew along the course that life charted for him.
CELEB POINT
Moments of glory
Yes, I've come back with the coveted award. The IIFA trophy is mine and what better way than to get it in front of Milkha ji himself!
The day I reached Tampa Bay with my brother, we missed the evening events as we were terribly jet lagged.
At breakfast the next day, I met up my entire clan.

Pot it well
We have been talking about watering needs of plants. This is one subject on which one could go on writing and talking about, especially during the summer. The watering requirements of plants are different, whether these are fruit trees, vegetables, climbers; in the soil or in pots.

Melon medley
Melon, our good old kharbuja, often takes a back seat to mango, the king of fruits. It's a pity, for a melon, with its delicate flavour, teamed with a unique fragrance is truly a delicious fruit. My rule of thumb is, "If it's sweet, then tuck in regardless! And if not, then turn it into a lovely salad with the right flavouring and simple dressing!"
